NO, taking stabs anonymously is fun or I'm too lazy to log in to post
We don't need trolls stirring up trouble like the one in the thread about the broken ignition switch.

I'm gonna go get a second mortgage, another job, and then you're a dead man!" "He musta really done somethin', they put $50,000 worth of bullets in his ass!"

I'm talking about the "Its called learning people" post.
This forum gives me lots of options to track people down, and I supose people should know that, so they "play nice".
Hmm. Probably just posting remotely, through a different firewall.
Is this possible? To make login mandatory for posting?

As long as your browser has cookies enabled, this is done by default. The problem comes up for people who use public computers and don't want anything personal to remain behind. So they will be forced to log in. But only to post, so hopefully that won't be a great inconvenience.

Besides, I can always delete posts, and there is a notify Moderator link on each post. It actually says "Report Bad Post" on the Blue bar to the right of the post number.
It really is pretty rare that we see this kind of thing on our board.
